  • We had a wonderful stay at this cabin in Sep'09 ! It was beautiful, fully stocked, and clean. Karen couldn't have been more helpful. We had a great time reconnecting with our family on this trip, and hope to visit again. We had 6 adults, 3 children, and 2 dogs, and there was plenty of room for everyone. We really enjoyed painting on the back porch, toasting marshmallows, and listening to the relaxing sounds of the river. (Tip: If you want to paint a rock, the painting supplies are under the bed and dresser in the master bedroom.) Have fun, we most certainly did!

  • Hello Karen! We are the Keen family we stayed in your cabin around May, and we had such a wonderful time. I especially loved waking up and going down by the river and playing with the 2 hound dogs and the smaller dog that hangs with them. The one that I favored over was the orageish Golden Retriever (the big dog). He was great and I always fed him and I think he liked me more because of it. He would stay with me all night and one night he didnt leave I was afraid that his owner would be worried about him. I called him Buddy. The day that we left he was following me while I was packing up the truck and when we started to back out I looked out the back window and he was sitting there looking at me and of course the baby I am when it comes to animals I won't lie I had some tears. He was the highlight of my trip. Your cabin was beautiful and I hope to vist again REAL SOON, I loved your little knick knacks! Great Trip! Best One Yet! Allison Keen, and Family! :)

  • thanks so much for renting the cabin to us. everything was just perfect! it was so light and airy and Ava-Marie slept with the teddy bears every night. the view was great and she was so excited to see the cows come around the corner every morning. i sat in the hot tub for an hour and just relaxed and listened to the satellite TV music station ( which i am now in love with!) we have stayed at other cabins in the area that i was not happy with, so this was a breath of fresh air. we loved it and will def be back!!!

  • We just spent a wonderful week at the Dream Catcher cabin July 19-July 26, 2008. Now I can't wait until we can spend some time there after the leaves fall so we can also enjoy the winter views. The cabin, itself, is lovely, and so comfy. I can't believe how much stuff that I packed thinking I might need it, only to arrive and see that you had already thought of everything. Next trip will be a breeze to pack! The large screened-in back porch was probably our most favorite area! I spent the morning there with my cup of coffee watching the beautiful creek. I also loved the location of the cabin. It is secluded, yet a very short drive to both Ellijay and Blue Ridge. It was wonderful spending time with my family without all the distractions of the real world. We spent time exploring the grounds, playing games, shopping in Ellijay and Blue Ridge, even took the train ride.... but the time spent on the back porch just reconnecting as a family was absolutely precious. Thank you offering your lovely property to us to recharge. We're all looking forward to spending more time there in the future. Danna Shivley

    Karen, I have been meaning to email you since last week. I just wanted to say how much we enjoyed your cabin. It was a wonderful time! My wife wanted to thank you also, she was surprised at how well it was stocked with spices, pans and even down to the champagne glasses. She said it was the first cabin we had stayed in that really felt like a home. We are looking at renting it next year if that is possible. How early would I need to let you know? Once again thank you it was wonderful and exactly what we needed.

    Hi Karen, We wanted to let you know how much we ENJOYED staying in the Dream Catcher !! It was so lovely !! It was just what we all needed, to be out away from everything in a serene setting. I can't tell you how listening to the soft bellowing of the cows in the morning while we ate breakfast on the porch brought back the joyful memories of my childhood staying on my Grandmothers farm in Alabama. We explored the creek almost from one end to the other searching for crawdads and finding them and watching them scurry along. We really hope to be able to come and stay again soon !!!!! It was the most relaxing vacation we have had in years !!!!!! S. Bronga

  • My husband, 6 1/2 year old daughter, lab mix and senior parents just finished a wonderful 4 night stay at Dreamcatcher.The place and location are magical and the memories and connections made priceless. From reading in the hammock, seeing the fawn and doe everyday, splashing in the water or playing games in the great room, we never ahd any time for our planned outings we were having too much fun at the cabin!! You've thought of everything-the roasting forks for the firepit, the great sound and TV system, local info folder, etc Of all the cabin, camping and condo trips we've taken, your written directions for anything we might need made it so simple. Thanks for everything and we will definitely be back (the only thing we didn't like was not getting around to painting a river rock for the porch!!)

    Dear Karen, I just wanted to thank you again for sharing your wonderful cabin with our family last week. We truly had the best vacation ever. My grandchildren loved wading in the river, and it was just the perfect depth for them (and us too, sitting in the adirondak chairs). Molly, our Irish setter, turned into a real mountain dog. John took her on long walks everyday at the Aska Rd trails and she was so tired that she behaved beautifully. We have stayed in 7 other cabins and yours is the best. I really appreciated having good reading lamps. The Sirius music was great, as well as the well-equipped kitchen. Thanks again. We hope to stay there many more times in the future. Rosemary Lewis

  • Unfortunately, when other people read this review – they will want to come too! The, cabin is beautifully decorated in a Native American Motif, with every amenity anyone could want. The screened porch, overlooking the Ellijay River, is where we had all of our meals. In the evening, spending quite time with your special someone, while listening to the rambling river, is reason enough to come. We had a wonderful time, fly fishing, hiking, and enjoying the area – thank you. We look forward to coming back again… Wayne & Elise Longino

    Karen: We can't even begin to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay at your cabin. It was simply the most amazing and relaxing jaunt we have had since our trip last year to Italy. We had a fire going the entire time and I made breakfast, lunch and dinner for my fiancé every day. We did take a trip to the Pink Pig to bring back to the cabin and, of course, you were right, it was amazing. We hardly did anything but watch movies and stroll your grounds the entire time. Sammy (our Golden Retriever) went bananas with all the cows, horses, donkeys and deer. It was hilarious. He was kissing the donkeys and the horses and running around like a crazy man. He never wanted to come inside. ha, ha, ha, ha. It was too funny. You truly provided EVERYTHING we needed to make the time feel like we were in our home. It was truly amazing. I spoke with several of my colleagues today, including my bosses, who are looking to rent your cabins. I told them that they will truly be astounded at everything detail you covered. My colleague Audrey Caston and her family are even more excited now that I am back and shared the beauty of your homes. We lacked absolutely nothing. Thanks to our experience at Dream Catchers, we are seriously thinking about buying a cabin somewhere now that we had this weekend. We didn't want to leave. I have to admit that the Native American/Southwestern motif was extremely dear to my heart as my grandparents were each half Cherokee. That touch alone made me feel completely at home. Thank you, thank you, thank you. We could not have been happier. We look forward to renting from you again and spreading the word. Sincerely, Jackie, Bruce and Sammy Pie
